Hello. An adult dog should not need an additional source of protein if they are eating a balanced dog food well. But I see no harm in sprinkling a small amount on the food to enhance the flavor.or as a treat. You could use a teaspoon daily unless your pet is underweight or recovering from illness or injury. Then you could add more or add it to multiple meals as needed. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
